Advising and Academic Coaching Interest Group
Goals and Objectives
The
function of the Advising and Academic Coaching Interest Group will
be to address these areas more in-depth in a variety of ways. The
main focus will be to address these issues by:
- Developing a definition that combines
advising and coaching;
- Providing resources (workshops,
sessions at conferences, on-line materials) for members to enhance
coaching abilities;
- Developing a listserve for members
to issues, current trends, etc. on advising and coaching; and
- Creating partnerships with organizations
that focus on different aspects of coaching.
In the future, the Advising and Academic
Coaching Interest Group will seek partnerships with other Commissions
and Interest Groups (for example, the Advisor Training & Development
Commission) to provide support and services that are beneficial to
members of both groups.
